About

This new album continues Ondine’s award-winning series of orchestral works by Witold Lutoslawski (1913–1994) together with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. The series has gathered several accolades, including a Grammy nomination, a BBC Music Magazine Awards nomination, and several recording of the month awards and best recordings of the year nominations. This album includes the composer’s early hit, his folklorish masterpiece Concerto for Orchestra, which is among his most performed compositions. The album also includes Partita for Violin and Orchestra (with Christian Tetzlaff as soloist), a virtuosic 5-movement work which in its orchestral version is not short of a Violin Concerto. The rarity in the album is Lutoslawski’s Novelette from 1979, which, although fragmentary, is already pointing toward the ideas of his 3rd Symphony.

Reviews

“… the recording is exemplary in terms of balance and presence. A mandatory purchase.”

Phillip Scott – Fanfare – May/June 2024

“… Throughout, Lutoslawski shows his gift for inventive combinations and surprising turns of phrase, portrayed in complex language without ever crossing into the incomprehensible. This is dark and serious music, beautifully performed.”

Fraser Jackson – thewholenote.com – 9 February 2024

“…This is a compelling account of Lutoslawski’s evolving style

Steph Power – BBC Music magazine – January 2024

“…Nicolas Collon ends this outstanding album with a fascinatingly gripping recording of this piece. He pulls out all the stops to make the work more richly textured than is the case in other interpretations I know.” *****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 12 November 2023
